Big things going on with State of Decay.

Undead Labs, the studio behind hit zombie title State of Decay, has signed a multi-year, multi-title agreement with Microsoft Studios, founder Jeff Strain has announced.

"I wanted to let you know we've signed a multi-year, multi-title agreement to extend our development relationship with Microsoft Studios," Strain wrote in a blog post. "We'll be able to share details later this year, but as with State of Decay, we think it's best if we just keep our heads down and build some prototypes before we talk too much. For now, suffice it to say there are big things going on with State of Decay."

He added: "Thanks to Phil [Spencer, head of Microsoft Studios] and everyone on our hard working team at Microsoft Studios for believing in State of Decay!

"And most of all, thanks to all of you for your ongoing support, encouragement, and enthusiasm for State of Decay. We know how far we'd have gotten if it hadn't been for your spreading the word, and it definitely wouldn't be here. You made this happen."

Strain concluded: "It's been a long haul from the original vision to this point, and the road ahead of us will take years to travel. We hope you're up for the trip, because we can't do it without you."
